On Friday, Sept. 7, 13 people were inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. The 2018 class was headlined by Ray Allen, Grant Hill, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash, and included the likes of Maurice Cheeks, Dino Radja and Tina Thompson.

Dirk on his friendship with Nash: "Here, my first couple of years (with the Mavs) he always took me out of the hotels and out of my home so I wouldn't get home sick. And he introduced me to a lot of his friends in his circle and I'm really thankful for that and I owe him a lot."

More Dirk about Nash: "He's smart, he's funny, he's just a good dude. He's got a huge heart, he's always fitting in stuff for the community, always up for a good time, for jokes. There's never really a dull moment with him."

I played with a lot of great players in my NBA career but one of my favorite players of all time is/was Mr Ray Allen. Congrts on getting that HOF jacket my brother. Well deserved! P.S thanks again for hitting that corner 3!!!!
